We have that F=ma from the 2nd Newton law where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Suppose we have that F' is the new force and m' is the new mass. Then, we have that a'=F'/m' still, by rearranging Newton's law. We are given that F'=2F and m'=m/2. Hence,
But now, we have from F=ma, that a=F/m and we are given that a=1m/s^2.
We can substitute thus, a'=4a=4*1m/s^2=4m/s^2.

Answer:
<u>We are given: </u>
initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
final velocity (v) = 10 m/s
displacement (s) = 20 m
acceleration (a) = a m/s/s
<u>Solving for 'a'</u>
From the third equation of motion:
v² - u² = 2as
replacing the variables
(10)² - (0)² = 2(a)(20)
100 = 40a
a = 100 / 40
a = 2.5 m/s²
